The topic of the next special issue for The International Journal of Cultural and Creative Industries is “Contemporary Curation: Theory and Practice”. We welcome academic articles, case studies, and viewpoints about the current practices and the challenges.

The special issue explores both theoretical and practical aspects on contemporary curation. It covers key aspects of the history, theory and practice of curating from the 20th Century up to the present day. We welcome papers that research and reflect upon a wide range of curatorial contexts from exhibitions, off-site projects, events, festivals, etc. The focus of this special issue is the application and dissemination of defined curatorial contexts and strategies from policy, strategic, experimental, empirical or theoretical perspectives. We welcome papers from curators, historians, critics, artists and event organizers to explore the shifting forms and diverse challenges of contemporary curation.

Please email a 400-word abstract to the editor of the special issue by 28 January 2014:
